Important Measures.

Nashville Banner.
The session of the Forty-tifth gen
eral assembly is now nearing its con-
stitutional limitation. The per diem
of members will cease on the 18th
day of March, just twelve days off.
In reality the constitution does not
limit the session to seventy-five days,
or any other number of days, but it
does limit the per diem of members
to seventy-five days, provided they
serve that number Of days. The
largest amount of the work Of the
present session has been devoted to
the passage Of bills local in their ap-
plication, few important measure of
general character having been pro-
posed or passed. The most impor-
tant of the general measures intro
duced and passed is what is known
as the submission" the act signed
by the governor yesterday providing
the mode for submitting to vote Of
the people the proposed constitution
al amendment providing for prohibit
ton. Another important measure,
general in its application, is the act
allowing parties defendant in crimi-
nal causes to testify in their own be-
half at their own request. This is a
departure from the old established
law which effectually closed the
mouths of persons arraigned on a
criminal charge. The bill was in
troduced by Mr.. Townes, a lawyer of
ability, and it received the support of
every lawyer in the senate, by amend
ment it provide that the defendant
shall testify, if he desires to testify,
before the states witnesses shall give
in their evidence.
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1887-03-19
PROHIBITION.

The bill submitting the prohibitory
constitutional amendment to the peo-
pie for their ratification or rejection
at the ballot box has been signed by
the Governor. The question is now
before the people on its merits and
calls for their prOfoundeSt thought
and most serious consideration. We
have given the matter much study
and investigation, have listened at
tentively to the views of conserva-
tiveS and partisans on both sides of
the question, and with all the lights
before us we can not conscientiously
do otherwise than give the amend
ment hearty, earnest support. The
STANDARD, therefore, boldly and
resolutely declares FOR THE AMEND
MENT, and will earnestly advocate its
ratification whenever occasion may
require. That large majority of
the people of the State sincerely de-
sire effective prohibition, no one can
for a moment doubt. This fact be-
ing admitted and the opportunity
being before them, nothing can pre-
vent effective prohibition in Tennes-
see but the failure of the good people
of the State to do their duty at the
polls. That it will cost time, money,
trouble and work to successfully es-
tablish effective prohibition can not
be questioned, but a great reform
never was accomplished short of the
outlay of all these agencies,a never
can be. That the operation Of prohi-
bition will temporarily embarrass the
finances of the State and many of its
citizens we are willing to admit, but
we also assert without fear of success
full contradiction that prohibition will
prove an inestimable benefit and
blessing to ninety-nine per cent of
the people Of the State, and conse-
quently the result will be ample
compensation for any Temporary in
convenience to which we may be
subjected.
The campaign is open, the battle is
upon us, and it is the urgent duty of
every lover of temperance, sobriety
and christianity to 90 zealously and
earnestly to work to secure the ratiti-
cation of the amendment by such an
overwhelming majority as to finally
and forever convince all dissenters
that our people want prohibition
and intend to have it. We can as
sure the friends Of prohibition that
they have no cause to feel faint
hearted in the struggle, or hesitate
for a moment TO engage with all
their energy in the cause. Large
numbers of the most prominent men
in the State, in every avocatiOn OF
life, are becoming enlisted for the
cause, and the prohibition people will
have no reason to be ashamed of their
army of workers. We believe ma.
jority Of the newspapers of the State
will support the amendment.
If the press, the pulpit, the moral
and christian people of the State will
} do their whole duty, and conscien.
ciously vote their honest convictions
, prohibition will carry in Tennessee
two to one, and with this power be,
hind them our Legislatures and
! courts dare not fail to make and exc,
cute laws embedding the will Of the
people, thereby securing to the State
effective prohibition, " Pulverize the
Rum Power"

AS there will be nothing to call the

vote will evidently be very light
GAINESVILLE Chronicle.
If there ever was enough in any
election to call people out, there GER
tainly is in this one. We. feel sorry
for any man who hasn't patriotism
enough in his soul to go to the polls

cerned the happiness and prosperity

hibition of the liquor traffic.

THE Republicans in the Legisla-

tactics of obstruction which they used
in the last session. BY absenting
themselves from the hall they can
breaka quorum, and thus prevent the
passage of any measure which they
may oppose. Even when they are
in their seats and refuse to vote on a
question or give a reason for not vot-
ing, the Speaker rules that they are
in effect absent, and consequently the
wheels Of legislation are effectually
blocked. 1t is now thought that the
